Is this ok for a posh pub party?

[MushroomMama]

Back story; used to wear clothes that hid every bit of me as I was a size 20 and 5ft3. I've lost some weight and now a size 14 so I'm trying to re educate my brain into buying clothes that fit me and show my figure!

Been invited to a posh pub party in London at the weekend so I've bought this will it do? I'm totally clueless unless it's black and tent like

the outfit and shoes are great but the necklace gets a bit lost in it all

Shall I just not bother with the necklace or should I opt for a different style!?

I think it looks nice I would say it is suitable for the party. Have fun!

Thank you! at least I know I'm getting somewhere with finding nice clothes again it's been so long!

well done mushroom on your weight loss - you look great. I think the dress and sandals are good, but not the necklace (too busy). What about some earrings instead? or even some heels if your sandals are flat. Have fun.

You look great! The outfit looks perfect for a pub party, if anything as others have said swap the fancy necklace for showy earrings. Have fun!

Outfit is great but I'd ditch the necklace - too much going on with the collar. Have fun!

Thanks! will ditch the necklace and go get some earrings!

Can't wear heels as I have dodgy bones and it creates a whole world of pain

Thank you so much really appreciate the lovely advice!

The necklace will be great with a plain top. Well done with the weight loss.

A nice red on the toes will look good with the shoes.

Agree with pp,red toes & ditch the necklace for earrings.
I might also try a belt that nips you in at the waist and see how it looks.
Well done on your weight loss,you look fab!

I agree it's maybe not perfect for this outfit, but I love your necklace! Can I ask where you got it?

I love your shoes, where did you get them?

I'm asking what colour that lipstick
Is - love it.
Oh and yes, your outfit is fine.

Thanks for the tips! Painting my toes tonight!

tigger it's Barry m 162 in a pink case got it in boots 3 for 2 think the lipstick on it own was £3.99

Thank you once again! Really helps a lot!

its a bit like a prison outfit. I don't like it and dont think ti does anything for you

I can assure you it's nothing like a 'prison outfit'.

Not sure if primark stock her majesty's prisons but hey ho!
